Carnival Queen Lyrics

Jandek Carnival Queen

Carnival queen
All the ghosts lay by your side
Moaning, groaning songs of woe
Carnival queen
Your hair is on fire
Your arrows pierce my bones
Angel, madonna
Your eyes are on fire
Breathing quiet prayers
Angel, madonna
You breathe
Pumping life into my veins
Carnival queen
All the ghosts stay by your side
Moaning, groaning songs of woe
Carnival queen
Your hair is on fire
Your nails pierce my palms
